The First French Circumnavigation. First English edition of the first French circumnavigation first published in Paris 1771. Bougainville's command was to first turn over the Falkland Malvinas Islands to the Spanish allies of the French. He tells the story of the discovery and occupation of the Falklands and devotes a chapter to their natural history. He was at Buenos Aires when the order came to expel the Jesuits of Paraguay which he describes in detail. He then continued through the Straits of Magellan and across the Pacific to the East Indies and thence home in a three year voyage which was France's first official circumnavigation of the word. Many Pacific Islands were visited there is a lengthy description of Tahiti including a 300 word vocabulary of words used on the island at the end of the book and although Bougainville made few important discoveries the effect of his voyage on the French was to stimulate their interest in the Pacific and inspire the later voyages of Du Fresne and La Pérouse. Bougainville after whom the tropical flower is named later fought in the American Revolution and was made a count of the Empire by Napoleon.<br/><br/> It was translated by John Forster the Naturalist aboard the Resolution on James Cook's second voyage 1772-75. France's first official circumnavigation was commanded by Bougainville who saw the strategic advantage in commanding the route to the Pacific around Cape Horn hence his attempted colonization of the Falkland Islands in 1763 and his new charts of the Straits of Magellan. As well as bringing back news of his discoveries in the Pacific Bougainville also brought back a Tahitian Mayoa. It was the decision to return this young man to his home that prompted the French Government to mount another exploratory voyage led by de Fresne in 1771. Hill states that Johann Reinhold's son Georg also Naturalist aboard the Resolution may have been the actual translator of this work while Johann contributed the preface dedication and footnotes.

Paris: Saillant & Nyon 1771. First Edition<br/><br/> Internally a clean bright and tight copy. Narrative of Bougainville's voyage to South America across the Pacific Ocean through the East Indies on onward to France. This voyage was the first French circumnavigation around the world. The success of this voyage caused increased French interest in the islands of South Pacific. Bougainville was sent from France to colonize the Falkland Islands. The first part of this work describes the Falkland Islands including its natural history and the French colony there and the author's visits to Montevideo Paraguay and Rio de Janeiro. Bougainville sailed through the Strait of Magellan and across the Pacific to Tahiti. There are several chapters on his visit to Tahiti. Also included is a list of Tahitian vocabulary. He then sailed to the East Indies where he extensively describes his visits to the Moluccas Borneo and Batavia. "The largest island in the Solomons and two straits in the Pacific bear his Bougainville's name and the tropical flowering vine called bougainvillea was also named for him." Hill 163.

1771WRCAM49586Paris: Saillant & Nyon 1771. 84173pp. with twenty-three maps and plates. Half title. Quarto. Contemporary mottled calf gilt leather label. Minor shelf wear. Small contemporary bookplate of the Duc de Decrès on front pastedown. Very minor foxing in margins of half title and last leaf. A remarkably bright and clean copy. Fine. First edition of this important work. Bougainville first undertook an expedition to the Falkland Islands and Patagonia at his own expense to secure them for French colonization. To avoid possible conflict due to Spain's envy of this acquisition France gave up the territory to her. The narrative of that expedition was related in THE HISTORY OF A VOYAGE TO THE MALOUINE ISLANDS. Paris 1770. After delivering the Falklands to Spain Bougainville was ordered across the Pacific to the East Indies and then home. The completion of the three-year voyage marked the first official French circumnavigation and inspired much French interest in the Pacific islands. The party collected abundant natural history information concerning the regions visited; a chapter on the Falklands gives the history of their settlement as well. The expedition stopped at many South Sea islands among them Tahiti and included is a long section on that island as well as a vocabulary of the natives. Bougainville was in Buenos Aires when the order arrived for the expulsion of the Jesuits from Paraguay which he describes in detail. An extraordinary capstone to this remarkable voyage was that Bougainville lost only seven out of two hundred men. <br> <br> "Bougainville also touched at the Moluccas Batavia and Mauritius before he arrived once again in France in 1769. Although Bougainville made only a few important discoveries he created a great deal of interest among the French in the Pacific which resulted in the voyages of Marc-Joseph Marion de Fresne and Jean François de La Pérouse. The largest island in the Solomons and two straits in the Pacific bear his name and the tropical flowering vine called bougainvillea was also named for him. Bougainville later took part in the American Revolution survived the French Revolution and was made a senator and count of the Empire by Napoleon I. Bougainville's accounts of Pacific Islanders in this work echoed Jean Jacques Rousseau's concepts of the 'noble savage' and inspired Denis Diderot to write his denunciation of European contact with indigenous peoples" - Hill. <br> <br> This copy belonged to Admiral later Duc Denis Decrès Napoleon's Minister for the Navy and the Colonies from 1801 to 1814 with his bookplate on the front pastedown. Decrès was the Minister directly responsible for Nicholas Baudin's voyage to Australia. Therefore there could have been much instructive value in the present volume for Decrès who perhaps used Bougainville's experiences with regard to Baudin to assist in the various enquiries into voyage events many of them relating to Baudin's unfortunate command. A highly distinguished French naval provenance for one of the country's legendary travel narratives. HILL 163. SABIN 6864. O'REILLY & REITMAN 283. BORBA DE MORAES p.115. DU RIETZ 117. COX I p.55.

500318258GF-Flammarion Sans date. Le Supplément au voyage de Bougainville est un conte philosophique de Denis Diderot (1772) qui prend la forme d'un dialogue. Il critique la civilisation européenne et la colonisation à travers le regard d'un vieillard tahitien tout en proposant une réflexion sur le bonheur les mœurs et les valeurs. L'œuvre combine humour hardiesse et une écriture légère pour interroger les fondements moraux et sociaux
